SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill temporarily deactivates an installed community skill without removing its files, configuration, references, or templates, allowing users to stop its discovery and automatic hooks safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Controlled Disabling: Renames the skill entry point so Claude no longer discovers it as active.
  • Hook Suppression: Disables hook configuration files so automatic triggers stop firing.
  • Re-enabling: Recognizes a previously disabled skill and restores its active filenames.
  • Safety Validation: Restricts actions to community skills installed through the hub, excludes first-party plugins, requires confirmation, and records the action in the installation log.
  • Use Case: Temporarily silence a community skill that is causing unwanted behavior while preserving its files and configuration for later reactivation.

Quick Start

Ask the skill manager to disable the named community skill after showing the affected paths and receiving explicit confirmation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I temporarily disable a Claude community skill without deleting its files?

You can disable a Claude community skill without deleting files by renaming its entry point and suppressing hook configuration files. This stops automatic triggers and skill discovery while preserving all templates and configuration for later reactivation.

Can I re-enable a community skill after it has been disabled?

Yes, you can re-enable a disabled community skill because the Skill recognizes previously deactivated plugins and restores their active filenames. This reverses the entry point renaming so Claude can discover the skill and fire its automatic hooks again.

Does disabling community skills affect first-party Claude plugins?

No, disabling community skills does not affect first-party Claude plugins. The deactivation workflow includes safety validation that restricts actions exclusively to community skills installed through the hub, explicitly excluding first-party plugins from filename modification or deactivation.

What is the best way to stop automatic hooks from firing in Claude plugins?

The best way to stop automatic hooks from firing in Claude plugins is to disable the community skill's hook configuration files. This suppresses automatic triggers while keeping the skill's files, references, and templates intact for future use.

Why does disabling a skill require installation-log validation and explicit confirmation?

Disabling a skill requires installation-log validation and explicit confirmation to prevent accidental deactivation and ensure only verified community skills are affected. This safety mechanism records the action in the installation log and protects first-party plugins from unintended workflow disruptions.
